What will you learn?
Functional programming is back in vogue. There's a reason front-end frameworks like React and Vue are moving toward functional programming, and after this course you'll more than understand its benefits. We'll dive in-depth into all of the foundational concepts of functional programming in a familiar language.

Great at explaining concepts, but felt lost at times. Kind of the point and forced me to research syntax/documentation. Still felt like I was banging my head against a wall for long periods of time.

This is really a tough one. I may have to revisit this soon.

This course broke down some complicated concepts in a simple way and have given me the tools to write in a cleaner, more declarative way. Similarly to Object Oriented Programming, I feel that these tools learned make larger projects seem more possible now that I can write in a more readable way. That allows me to be easier on myself going forward. It did not come without some pain though.

OOP is much better for me, but this helps to understand what is FP is and how to work with it!

Quite a challenge to pull through, definitely took a lot longer than previous courses. But those are positives in my opinion.
